Share the luck of the Irish with cupcakes coated in frosting flavored with Baileys Irish Cream a liqueur made from a blend of cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey and decorated with a sprig or two of real three-leaf clovers. The clovers should be removed before eating (be sure to use only pesticide-free clovers from a reliable source or your garden). You could also decorate the tops with a shamrock stencil, available at craft-supply stores, and green sanding sugar.
